Rebecca A. Waxse has not been a Minnesota judge for long in the current sense of the word, because the Minnesota Judicial Branch biography says she was appointed to the bench on Aug. 9, 2007 , then retired on Feb. 9, 2024 , and served as a Senior Judge from Mar. 11, 2024, to June 30, 2025.

So, depending on what you mean by “been a judge”:

  • As a full district court judge: from 2007 to 2024 , about 16 years and 6 months.
  • Including senior judge service: from 2007 to June 30, 2025 , about 17 years and 10 months.

If you want, I can also format this as a short post-ready blurb.
